  • System and method of surfacing a lens, such as a lens for use with eyeglasses
    Patent number: 7784937
    Abstract: A system and method of forming surfaces on eyeglass lenses is described. In some examples, the surface is a spherical, cylindrical or spherocylindrical surface at a center of the lens and an aspherical surface at a periphery of the lens. In some examples, forming the surface on the lens reduces the thickness of the lens at the periphery of the lens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 31, 2010
    Assignee: Digital Vision, Inc.
    Inventors: Gordon Keane, John Thompson
  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A LENS, SUCH AS AN OPHTHALMIC LENS
    Publication number: 20090109397
    Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing an ophthalmic lens is described. In some examples, the system applies a back surface to a lens blank that includes an aspherical curve having two radii of curvature. In some examples, a back surface of a peripheral portion of the lens follows the curvature of a front surface of the lens in order to establish a rounded, non-sharp edge to a lens blank used during the manufacturing process of a prescription eyeglass lens.

  • Electronic ordering system, such as for use by eye care professionals
    Patent number: 7188082
    Abstract: A system and method for ordering products, such as lens products from lens vendors, includes an intuitive interface. One or more displayable lists of options are provided to an operator, whereby selecting one item from the list decreases subsequent choices from other lists to only valid or available choices. Application tools interface with the system to permit data from external equipment to be input and associated with an order.
